Easton police Capt. Scott Casterline said the man is 36 years old but didn't have the man's name. Casterline said the man fell about 8 to 10 feet from a scaffold about 12:30 p.m. while sandblasting on the Route 22 bridge on the Easton side of the river.

The man was taken to a local hospital, and his condition is unknown, Casterline said.

The bridge is in state police jurisdiction, but a police officer was on scene at the time of the incident and immediately stepped in to help, Casterline said.
